"I think I'm very Punjabi in a very British way. But I'm also quite British in a very Punjabi way too," Chadha told PTI on the sidelines of International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here.

Chadha traces her India-British roots to her childhood. "My first sentence as a child was 'I want roti-khana'. That sort of carried on as I grew up," she says.

The director, who is credited for making Indian diaspora popular in the UK, is being honoured by IFFI this year. A retrospective of seven of her films is being held during the 10-day festival, which will also include Chadha's cult hit 'Bend it like Beckham'.
